    Am I getting near max capacity?

    I think you'll find that most people that keep aquariums seriously are very passionate about the inhabitants we have chosen to care for. I don't see this as a casual hobby.

    Am I getting near max capacity?

    Very sorry to read you are experiencing aggression but I must congratulate you on recognizing it and doing, IMO, the right thing by returning the fish to the LFS.

    90 Gallon tank Upgrade Setup ?

    My first question for you would be to ask are you setting up a reef tank, FOWLR, or FO tank?? I have a similar setup at 90 gallons except bulkheads are 1" and 3/4", on a reef tank, and I use the Mag12. What I've done is on my return line I'v added a T in the plumbing, with a valve and tubing...

    Lighting question

    Am I getting near max capacity?

    Not my intentions at all. Unless your an advocate of this kind of husbandry. I'm simply making a point on this particular thread. We agreed on the overstocking. My personal opinion is to try something like this after so many have failed is not being responsible. You decided to "rant" when I...

    Am I getting near max capacity?

    Preaching?? ....... well maybe so but I'll guarantee you if you ask this person in 3-6 months what the outcome of this situation was it will be something that ended in either the death or return to the LFS of one or more of the mentioned fish. These "rules of thumb" that some of us like to use...
